Dick,
Eliminate the foot switches from suspicion with a simple test that you
can do with your DMM.
Set the DMM to ohms and check the resistance between the tip and shell
of the RCA plug. When you depress the foot switch, the resistance
should be quite close to zero.
Yes, it is not probable, but entirely possible that you could have 2
faulty footswitches. The simple test mentioned above should resolve
that question. If the footswitches prove good, an email to
[email protected] is in order to do further troubleshooting. It
could be just a matter of a faulty jack on the K3.
There is no menu entry that will change the behavior of the PTT input.
Until this is resolved, you can use the XMIT button on the K3 to
transmit or set the K3 to use VOX.

Hi Guys,
When operating SSB, about a month ago my Foot switch cable to the K3 "PTT
IN" on the rear panel quit working. I tried a second foot switch that I
know is good, and that one won't key the K3 in SSB mode either. I'm
wondering if the K3 has an internal Menu setting that deactivates the rear
panel
PTT IN jack?
Sure would like to get my foot switch once again.
